The third wave coffee movement is vibrant in Bangkok, and the Espresso Friend group (which is behind the Pacamara brand) has been integral in this push.

Pacamara roasts their own coffee, uses top-notch machines (the Slayer for example), and baristas receive intense training. Bearing in mind that the founder is the only Thai lead instructor of the Specialty Coffee Association of America.

In fact when I was this Bangkok lab, I spotted two baristas from Singapore’s branch who was there for an exchange programme.

Compared to the other Bangkok outlet at RainHill Retail Mall which is considered boutique sized, this is well… like more than a bungalow.

There is a space for coffee workshops on the ground floor, and several meeting room type spaces on the upper. You can just imagine the likes of designers and artists brainstorming over cuppa.
